Thank you very much for that - so, if it were to be pre First World War, then it would be purely 17th Lancers, I presume?

I've come across the term 'ears' before in relation to the Motto, but never quite understood what it referred to (I dig up quite a few of the real thing, so I'm probably a bit too used to the anatomical reality to make the connection).

Do these additional shots cast any more light?
